To Speed Up An All-In-One

I've a friend with an LC 520. It's too slow for her, and I want to slide a board into it to make it go-faster. Other than a daughtercard, what motherboard fits right in with no hacks and speeds it up? JEff -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by and... Small Dog Electronics

64MB EDO on a Quadra 605!

I've read so many times that there was NO way you could put 64 or 128 MB into a Quadra 605. A recent article, from LEM I think, said it would never work. Well I'm here to say that it DOES work. I bought a stick of 64MB 4K EDO 72 pin memory from 18004memory for $18. I figured for that price

IIci/si ROM SIMM Slot

I have a ROM SIMM slot on my IIsi and IIci. Is there any way I can utilize this to improve performance? I.e. use it to load additional memory, or cache memory from a cache stick (I have a couple of those from AST PCs.) The answer is probably no, from what I've heard, though, but it's worth aski

Re: To Speed Up An All-In-One

Replacing a motherboard is much more difficult than just sliding a new one in. You may have to remove screws, release clips, etc. and then put the new board in place and secure it. Once that's done though you probably won't get much more performance unless you replace it with a PowerMac board,

Re: To Speed Up An All-In-One

BTW, I just saw the PowerPC Upgrade motherboards on MicroMac.com, with 75mhz or 90mhz PPC processors. Just a note: Don't buy these; they want $500 for them. What crap! You can get 4 powermacs for that price.. -- Deven Gallo -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by and... Smal

Re: To Speed Up An All-In-One

Sounds good, but for the cost of the 550 mobo and a 68040 chip at 33mhz or higher, you could buy two accelerators. Those are really a better buy unless you're dead set on stability .. or you need a higher RAM ceiling. I'm very happy with the performance on my IIci with the Daystar Turbo 040-40m

Re: To Speed Up An All-In-One

Yes, overclocking and adding an upgrade board is a good way to go. I'd say overclock it to the max it can go and be stable, upgrade the RAM to 32mb or more, add a big hard disk, a CDROM, and install a Turbo 040-33 or -40. As for the 601 card, it's NOT worth it. They're extremely hard to get, re

Re: To Speed Up An All-In-One

"Extremely hard to overclock", perhaps. I did not look into information about overclocking it, but you'll note it was someone ELSE'S suggestion to overclock it, I just concurred. Difficulty aside, it's possible, if he wants to do it, it's worth a shot. Also, an accelerator board can cost about

Re: To Speed Up An All-In-One

I was referring to the cost of MicroMac's Logic Board Tradeup service .. world's worst service I've heard of. LC 520 replacement: $500-$600 for a PowerMac board, and a $100 deposit they only refund once they get your old mobo. What crap. However, it'll still be more trouble to get a 68040 chip

I have a right to my opinions and to voice them. I agree with Pickle now, as he says the accelerators are very ineffective on LC models. I know a lot more than you give me credit for. And rember: it's good to be well-rounded. I'm no Mac hardware genius, but I have information to contribute. I k

Sorry, the 601 uses a different kind of adapter than the 030 PowerCache, most likely. The 601 can't use the Daystar Turbo 040 adapter .. so I doubt it would work with an older one. -- Deven Gallo In a message dated 9/16/01 10:53:04 PM Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: << My 0
